Oil Pressure Drain Bolt

WR426Frider

I bought this bike used so i do not have the manual yet, a friend told me that after you change the oil there is a bolt you need to loosen to make sure that there is oil pressure. Is this ture, and if so what bolt is it?

The purpose of the bolt, if I recall from the manual, it to provide a means to check that oil is flowing where it's supposed to. If you don't get a drip, then you need to check into why it isn't to avoid having the problems that result from low to no oil flow.

It's a bleed... Just in case you pick up a weird air lock during the job. Much more likely after a stripdown I believe. For the record, when I do oil changes I don't ever actually do the bleed thing. Just drop the oil, replace the oil etc.
